It was found on Wednesday by surveyors inspecting a lower Manhattan building. Nearly 3,000 people died in the terror attacks as planes were brought down in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Five suspected al-Qaeda militants are awaiting trial for the attacks at a military tribunal at the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. "It's a manifestation of a horrific terrorist act a block and a half away from where we stand," New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters outside the secured site. "It brings back terrible memories to anyone who was here, who was involved in that event." The piece was found in a narrow, rubbish-filled space 18in (0.45m) wide. Broken pulley Mr Kelly told reporters after inspecting it that a length of rope was looped around the piece of steel and that no marks were visible on the walls overhead. What appears to be the remains of a broken pulley can be seen with the wreckage and the New York Times reports that Mr Kelly did not completely exclude the idea that the aircraft debris may have been lowered into the gap. The New York Police Department has secured the area behind 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street as a crime scene. The location is at the site where a mosque and community centre has been proposed, three streets away from "Ground Zero" - the site of the twin towers. Police have taken photographs and are keeping it off-limits until a health assessment has been made by the medical examiner's office. Mr Kelly said investigators will scour the space for possible human remains. He said the landing gear was found at about 11:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Wednesday by surveyors hired by the owner of 51 Park Place. At 08:46 on 11 September 2001, American Airlines flight 11 hit the World Trade Center's north tower. Seventeen minutes later, United flight 175 hit the south tower.
